Need a hand?

Email [email protected] with what you were doing and, if you can, a screenshot. Please don’t attach drawings you aren’t allowed to share.

Getting started

Open a drawing. Open a PDF from Files, or drop it onto the window on a Mac. Each document opens in its own tab.
Pick a mode. Read, Annotate, Measure or Organize.
Set the scale from the status line, or calibrate by drawing along a dimension you know and entering its length.
Mark up with the tool rail. The Properties panel styles the selected markup, or the next one you draw.
Save. Markups are standard PDF annotations, so the file opens anywhere.

Common questions

My markups don’t show in another app.

Save first. Annorite writes standard annotations that Preview and Acrobat display; a few viewers hide annotations by default, so check that viewer’s settings.

A measurement looks wrong.

Check that the scale on the status line matches the sheet, or calibrate against a dimension you trust. Each document keeps its own scale. Always verify critical dimensions against the project documentation.

The PDF is protected.

Annorite never changes a protected original. Your markups go into a separate file beside it, and opening either one brings back both.
